You said that blood frontier has the camera functionality you need - so there is the possibility of moding sauer with the relevant code from it. In which case asking the blood frontier developers might be a good way forward.

Of course this is non-trivial if you're unfamiliar with the code...

-yawn-

src/engine/rendergl.cpp::recomputecamera()

Look for the line that says, "camera1->move = -1;"
add a new line under it, "camera1->strafe = -1;". Basically it's saying how the camera is to be moved from the player position.

Can't do this because it changes the crosshair's location in 3D space, the stuff in BF has kludges to reorient the camera/worldpos.

It's a major modification that actually breaks the network protocol to do correctly. It's not something that can be done (well) without getting the devs themselves to do it. There is some minor interest in it, but don't really expect it any time soon (or at all). These are First Person Shooters, as a result Third Person is not really very well supported or recommended (even in Blood Frontier, Third Person is not so crash hot).

To be perfectly honest, nobody is gonna write code for you. Your best place to start is probably http://www.gamedev.net/

#11921: server text

by viparr104 on 04/01/2009 18:28

what command line code would i use to create echo text whenever players log into my server? for example, i would want it to show players the rules of the server, such as not claiming master :-P im running os x, if that helps at all.

THE BOTS ARE GREAT! It feels like the longer i play with them, the more they learn from me.

About the bots, is it purposeful that they just stand there doing nothing even when you shoot them? I have to go up right next to them and switch to the chainsaw before he will start playing.

Yes, they remain stationary until there are valid waypoints for them to follow.

by MovingTarget on 04/02/2009 03:25, refers to #11927

I'm sure there's a good reason for it, but it still feels weird that when you add 50 bots, you have to go up to each one and push it with a chainsaw before it will actually start fighting. Kinda time consuming...

Or just frag them all with rockets and wait for them to respawn. ;-)
